It will be a good series. Lots of contrast. Oilers top line and Bouchard are elite. Fla has great depth and an elite goalie. Skinner is inconsistent but they've insulated him well. Fla won't deviate from its system. Oilers there for 1st time. Fla motivated after last year.

In the end, I think Fla can wear down and frustrate Oilers. Bob is a difference maker. Having home ice is big

That’s going to be a huge factor, for sure.

Essentially. Most of the posters on HFOil avoid the mains like the plague. Someone on here posted something from an “oilers fan”…never seen him post on HFOil- have no clue who he is and I’ve been on this forum since 2004

yeah- not sure who those posters are. I am confident in saying that if you come to HFOil respectfully and ask questions- 98% of the posters will be happy to answer and wish you guys luck.

We’ve read it 5 times now. The words haven’t changed, and you still mischaracterize what he’s saying.

“Lunatics” which was the meat of your jab at our fanbase is coming from you. Not him.

Oilers ain't getting a special teams edge against a team that has a Campbell on the payroll.

Though they've been good enough 5 on 5 these playoffs anyways imo.

It would be beyond a miracle for the Oilers to win four straight. It is absolutely not going to happen.

I can't see an Oilers sweep. I will say their PK has be exquisite. The may give McDavid the Smythe if they win and he may well earn it. My vote would go to Hyman right now. Probably Reinhardt for Fla

Read the thread yourself, there were other quotes, but I don't care enough to look them up again.

They're trying to "grow the game" some more by giving most people enough time to forget that the playoffs are still going.

I keep saying it, the issue is with the NBA finals schedule, otherwise SN would be the only national telecast.

They aren't showing that south of the border even if it's hands down better than ESPN/TNT

I wonder how much of it had to do with Dallas, specifically. They had to finalize things but also had to plan around the possibility of both the Stars and Mavericks playing. The NBA may have had the same problem.

Amerant Bank Arena is booked like 200 nights a year too, but there was never going to be a NHL/NBA Finals conflict with all the money they pay for the TV rights.
 
Kane is the x factor in my eyes. If Tkachuk/Bennett wakes the bear up, look out...

So has Forsling overtaken Ekblad as the best dman on the Panthers? Seems like 6 solid guys on the back end

Yes he has, but he only plays 5v5 and PK, 0 PP time.

Montour is the top guy, OEL on the 2nd unit

I hear a lot of media talk about how tough the Panthers are and they are bullies. Who gives them that reputation?
Bennett is tough as nails.
Other than him, Tkachuk and Lomberg are more in the pest category.
on the backend. Mikkola? Sort of mid tier tough.
I guess it is just buy in from everyone but I don’t see a
Roster that screams bullies?

It’s mostly from people getting their panties twisted over watching their team play against FL’s aggressive forechecking style.
